Paracord Lanyard

                My school, like many others, requires all students to wear an identification around school. The type of lanyard you wear is another way that you identify yourself. I loved making the paracord bracelets so this is a tutorial inspired by that, paracord lanyards!

Let's get started!

Supplies:
1. Lanyard
2. Paracord
3. Scissors
4. Lighter
5. Measuring Tape/Ruler

Step 1: Measure the length of your lanyard with paracord, add about 3.5 to 4 feet to that amount. That is how much paracord you will need.  

Step 2: Cut the ID holder off of the lanyard, this will be the hardware we use for the new lanyard

Step 3: Fold the paracord in half to find the middle; lay the lanyard at the looped end

Step 4: Slide the clip up the end with two strings to where the lanyard begins

Step 5: With one hand, hold the clip where it is, and with the other, fold the looped end over

Step 6: Now you're ready to start tying knots! We're going to use the square knot

Step 7: Tie the same knot, but from the other side this time

Step 8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you've reached a length you like

*NOTE: If you forget which side you left off on, find the farthest down knot, that is the side that you start on*

Step 9: Once you've reached a length you like, make sure you tighten the last knot you made

Step 10: Cut the remaining strings, close to the base

Step 11: Use the lighter to singe the the paracord where you cut it to keep it from fraying and unraveling, aaaaaaaaand.......

You're finished!

Enjoy your new paracord lanyard!
